Hi all, Systemd timers seem like a fine replacement[1] for cron/anacron and is installed by default. Further, many of our default services have switched to them.
Based on the recent change [2] in Debian, I don't believe anacron is needed anymore. I'm curious if anyone sees a specific need for cron to be there as well. Based on a disco desktop current jobs: apport - clean all crash reports which are older than a week. apt-compat - says to prefer the systemd timers bsdmainutils - BSD mainutils calendar daily maintenance script cracklib-runtime - make a wordlist for stronger password checking dpkg - Backup the 7 last versions of dpkg databases containing user data. logrotate - skips if systemd is installed man-db - skips if systemd is installed mlocate - regenerates locate database passwd - backups passwd group shadow gshadow popularity-contest - sends package info ubuntu-advantage-tools - runs status and stores in a cache update-notifier-common - Try to rerun any package data downloads that failed at package install time. Happy to start tackling those that are left if there is agreement to move to systemd timers / drop anacron/cron. Thanks!
